born in Braunau am Inn, Austria.(Dorpalen

year of his birth. He was a poor boy and a high
school dropout. He was rejected twice from the
Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna for lack of
talent.(The Volume Library 2 Pg. 1745) At age 25,

to discuss history or art. Despite his early luck
during the first two years of the war, he was
later injured twice and decora ...

Communism East Europe - 2,955 words
... a contributing factor to the collapse of
communism in Eastern Europe. If a party has not
got the support of a majority, then it has a weak
political basis. The fact that undemocratic means
were used to ensure that the communists came to,
and then maintained, power shows that communism
was a political failure. Throughout the history of
communism in Russia, never once did the party gain
a majority support or truly succeed in suppressing
public demonstrations of antipathy towards
communism. It can therefore be argued that a
political leadership with no political basis or
support could ever hope to survive. Another
important factor to note is communisms utter
failure in relation to society a ...

American-Soviet Relationship after World War II
American and Soviet relations deteriorated in the
decade following World War II. The three factors
that had the most effect on that relationship were
the agreements made at the Yalta Conference, the
Korean War, and McCarthyism. The agreements of the
Yalta Conference began the deterioration of the
American-Soviet relationship. Some of the
decisions taken at Yalta pertained to Europe. The
most critical of these had to do with the
liberated nations of eastern Europe. Roosevelt and
Churchill rejected Stalin's proposal that they

Eastern Europe From 1970 To 1990 - 356 words
Eastern Europe - From 1970 to 1990 From 1970 to
1990, Eastern European nations realized they
needed a change in their governments as well as
economies. Politically, reformers and dissidents
wanted to end party-state dictatorships and move
towards a pluralist democracy. Economically,
centrally planned economies were unsuccessful due
to increased bureaucracy, excessive
centralization, and debt obligation. Velvet
revolutions in Eastern Europe changed countries
towards market-oriented economies and pluralist
democracies. Countries of the Eastern European
bloc had a similar goal in the 1970s and 1980s: to
end party-state dictatorships. Under party-state
dictatorships, one political party dominate ...

democracy is supposed to be all about.
Undoubtedly, one of the more important Cold War
origins belonged to the region of Eastern Europe,
where turmoil between the Western powers and
Russia lasted for decades. Russia, sacrificing so
much to stop Hitler, desperately wanted the
countries of Eastern Europe, with an emphasis on
Poland. On the other hand, the United States
demanded that Poland be a democracy where free
elections would be held. This is certainly where
the Cold War escalates, as Russia breaks a promise
to uphold free elections in Polan ...

Soviet Union. Assess the validity of each view.
The Cold War,said to have lasted from the end of
World War II to the dismantling of the Soviet
Union in 1991, was one of the most significant
